Sample Problem 5/13 4 kN

Determine the shear and moment distributions produced in the simple

beam by the 4-kN concentrated load. 6m 4m

Solution. From the free-body diagram of the entire beam we find the support
4 kN
reactions, which are y

R1  1.6 kN R2  2.4 kN
x
A section of the beam of length x is next isolated with its free-body diagram
on which we show the shear V and the bending moment M in their positive direc-
tions. Equilibrium gives
R1 = 1.6 kN R2 = 2.4 kN
[ΣFy  0] 1.6  V  0 V  1.6 kN
y V
[ΣMR1  0] M  1.6x  0 M  1.6x
M M
 These values of V and M apply to all sections of the beam to the left of the 4-kN
load. x 10 – x
A section of the beam to the right of the 4-kN load is next isolated with its
free-body diagram on which V and M are shown in their positive directions. V
Equilibrium requires 1.6 kN 2.4 kN

V, kN
[ΣFy  0] V  2.4  0 V 2.4 kN

[ΣMR2  0] (2.4)(10  x)  M  0 M  2.4(10  x) 1.6

0 x, m
These results apply only to sections of the beam to the right of the 4-kN load. 0 6 10

The values of V and M are plotted as shown. The maximum bending mo- –2.4
ment occurs where the shear changes direction. As we move in the positive M, kN·m
x-direction starting with x  0, we see that the moment M is merely the
9.6
accumulated area under the shear diagram.

0 x, m
0 6 10

Helpful Hint
 We must be careful not to take our
section at a concentrated load (such
as x  6 m) since the shear and mo-
ment relations involve discontinu-
ities at such positions.

For the beam and loading shown, (a) draw the shear and
bending-moment diagrams, (b) determine the maximum
absolute values of the shear and bending moment.

ΣM D = 0: + 12 kN ⋅ m + (9 kN)(3.5 m) + (18 kN)(2 m) − 3 kN ⋅ m − Ay (4.5 m)= 0

Ay =17.00 kN

=
